The Rest
Tell me about yourself
Why?
Aren’t I more than pieces of paper that read certificate, honor, or recognition?
I’m supposed to be proud of myself
Well, I am.
But here’s the trick: no one else is concerned about your self-pride
They want to know the statistics
Let me see your numbers
Let me see your letters
Let me see the titles of where you have been
I don’t need an explanation about this or that
Just the title will be fine
So here I am, all proud of myself
And I realize that no one else cares
And I would never take away my self-pride
Because at that moment, I would be just like the rest
Tell me about yourself
Just the title will be fine
